Premium, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Thule feet to create a quiet, stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Dual rubber strips in T-slots let you easily mount accessories - no trimming required. Simple to center and install with integrated scales.

Specs:
TheThule WingBar Evo crossbars let you quickly and easily build a quiet, aerodynamic custom roof rack for your vehicle. These high-end bars look great on any vehicle, and they are perfect for those who want a quiet roof rack that can carry plenty of gear. The bars have dual rubber strips in the T-slots and pivoting endcaps that allow you to easily mount carriers and accessories. Each bar extends past the feet to maximize carrying capacity. The bars are constructed of aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures that make them extremely durable yet lightweight. The WingBars require a Thule foot pack (sold separately) to mount the rack to your roof. Some vehicles - such as those with a naked roof - may also require a vehicle-specific fit kit (sold separately).
Aerodynamic TrailEdge Design with WindDiffuser Strips
The WingBar's tapered TrailEdge shape helps reduce wind drag by separating the airflow over and under the bars so you won't see a reduction in your vehicle's gas mileage. This also dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration - even at highway speeds - and eliminates the need to add a fairing to your roof rack.
The rubber WindDiffuser strips in the T-slots have V-shaped ridges that direct air over the tops of the bars. This reduction in wind drag also helps maintain fuel efficiency and significantly reduces wind noise.
Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories
WingBar Evo crossbars have built-in T-slots with rubber strips that simply press into place. This makes them easier to install when compared with strips that have to be threaded into the channel from the end of the bar. The dual-strip design also makes accessories easier to install in the T-slots when compared with strips that have to be trimmed. Simply lift the SwingBlade endcaps open, slide your gear into the channel, and close the endcaps. These rubber strips also seal the gaps left by your accessories so that water and dirt don't get into the T-slots.
You can also attach most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers to the bars.
Strong, Durable Construction
The WingBar Evo crossbars are made of anodized aluminum with internal BoxBeam structures. These structures strengthen the bars without significantly increasing their weight. Additionally, because the bars are aluminum, they won't rust or corrode so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Hassle-Free Installation
Installation of the WingBar Evo crossbars is quick and easy, and you don't have to do any drilling or vehicle modification. The bars have bottom channels that accommodate your Thule feet. SmartSlide sliding scales in the bottom channels let you place the feet in the proper location using the vehicle-specific measurements provided in your fit kit manual. Simply slide each scale to the measurement indicated in the fit kit manual, then slide the foot into the channel until it rests against the scale.
For applications that don't require specific measurements provided in a fit kit manual - such as a raised rail - you can center the rack after you place it on your vehicle using a tape measure. Then slide the scales against the feet to fill in the gaps in the channel.
Insert the included rubber filler strips into each channel between the outer edges of the feet and the ends of the bars, and trim the excess. These rubber strips, coupled with the sliding scales, help to keep dirt and water out of the bottom channels and help to reduce whistling.
To complete installation on your roof simply tighten a single screw inside each foot using the torque tool included with the foot pack. This single attachment point enables you to secure the crossbar to the foot and the foot to your roof simultaneously.

Ratings & Reviews
I have almost always had roof rails on my vehicles. My F150 had no rails and I was nervous about clamp style rack holders given what I tend to carry on top. These have been great and I am positive I have overloaded them numerous times.
Bars fit perfectly on my 2021 Kia Telluride, and work great with my Thule Hullavator Kayak carrier. Appreciate working with the knowledgeable experts at etrailer to make sure everything I order works together.
As always etrailer is one of few that still does the job they say they do.
The Bars are as expected. Mounted them on my 2020 Mercedes Metris Cargo Van with the raised roof rails. There is no noise or vibration generated from these bars. Go to Thule website for assembly instructions.
Only issue with my order is that they were shipped in the Thule packaging and it was dropped on it’s end by the shipper (UPS) and both bars had dents on the end. Was able to correct damage and assemble end caps. Unfortunate that there is some anodize finish missing at the dent. Might be better if etrailer re-packaged or at a minimum added end protection.
First, there we’re complications with the delivery which I caused and eTrailer reps worked with me and worked it out. Second, All products purchased fit and installed rather easily on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. This outcome was a result of working with one of their reps to get the right in-stock parts that fit right. Finally, I reviewed installation videos which helped me get the job done right the first time.
While the instructions were a bit difficult to follow the install videos from etrailer are a blessing to figure out what to expect even if not exact to the letter. Overall product is excellent, use it to haul kayaks and a 18 ft aluminum canoe to and from locations. Would recommend

I ordered a Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars 150 and Thule Rapid Gutter Feet. I studied and appreciated the online video reviews and customer comments. The pricing was competitive. They were both in stock. I was alerted by email when they shipped along with a tracking link.
The order arrived quickly. The outer box provided good protection, and both products were undamaged. I appreciated the online instruction documents. These were digital versions of the paper instructions that were included. Thule could have done a better job with their instructions, but etrailer was as thorough as I could have wanted.
The bottom line is that the crossbars are now properly mounted on my vehicle, and I’m completely happy with the product and my buying experience!
The Thule Evo Rail feet with 60" wing bars are an excellent choice for folks who routinely transport bulky equipment on their vehicle rooftops. The instructions for mounting were straightforward and easy (especially with the installation video link). I had to extend the slots under each wingbar to make them fit my 2004 Dodge Durango roof rails, but besides that, I'm thoroughly happy with the product. Do order the key locks separately, as they do not come with the feet.
I think Thule products are painfully pricey......however the rack I put on my Ram 2500 is flawless and a absolute perfect fit. I added the Thule rack for the roof of the truck. I have a truck bed utility custom rack and it wasnt enough. I carry a 16' heavy canoe and a 12' kayak so the additional crossbars make for a very sturdy and dependable way to carry since we also tow a trailer. Very happy to have it.
So, etrailer has made the process of buying my 22 ford explorer Thule cargo kit. A couple of issues. 1) the lack of quality was not there the top weather stripping is short and leaves a gap maybe that is the cause of the whistling. I have tried repositioning and the rope trick. No luck. Getting a fairing that will have to dump another 200 to hope this helps.
2) little more thought into strap thickness. The 2nd rail is a little tough to get through the opening in the roof rack.
Seems a little picky about these things, but when you dump 1,400 for a cargo rack system you should be.
This was my first purchase of an expensive roof rack system. I never expected to have the problems I am. Unfortunately it’s so universal that there are gaps that are creating really bad whistling sounds. I wish I could return and get my money back.
I've owned this roof rack for a year now, and it has served my purposes (carrying my kayak around on my truck) quite well. It was fairly easy to assemble, largely because the entire instruction guide was in pictures.
I have had to retighten the rack a couple of times since putting it on the roof, so I tie the kayak down to the front and back of the truck as well as to the roof rack. I suspect the ocean kayak puts a bit of lift on the roof rack resulting in the loosening.
Easy install, no issues with this roof rack in almost 1 year of using it
what can one say. etrailer has the best products at the best prices, great customer service with actual people that answer the phone and actually know what the heck they're talking about. My product was even delivered sooner than it was supposed to be. Sounds like a perfect business plan to me!

My roof racks by Thule are just outstanding. No regrets. I carry two kayaks up there quite frequently when were pulling our fifth wheel. Great solution to being able to take our boats along with us.
The whole experience was freakin awesome.
* Ordered on-line, delivered when promised, all packages were in excellent condition, and all parts were accounted for - no shortages, THANK YOU!
* The Thule roof rack design, quality of materials, comprehensive instructions were really impressive. Everything went together without a hitch and really looks good installed.
* We plan on carrying our 12 1/2' SUP's on the roof rack when we head out to the lakes.
* It saves us time as our SUP's are inflatable, however it takes a bit of time to pump them up once we get there. Now it's just loosen them up and we're ready to go.
Great job etrailer, I would definitely buy more products from your organization!!
I just installed these on my 2015 Odyssey's side rails.
Easy-peasy to install and appears to be quite solid.
Just not sure how tight I need to screw them.
It only took me 30 minutes to assemble and install the Crossroad feet with the 60" WingBar EVO. It will probably take me 10 minutes to move to another vehicle.
I chose the Crossroads for the ease of installation so I can switch them between our two Odysseys. When loosened for removal they also loosen the crossbar (60" WingBar EVO) which makes it so much easier to switch to a vehicle with a different width requirement.
Fits that requirement perfectly.
Will be loading the canoe on top this coming weekend. Looking forward to using these.
Sturdy bars. The rubber strip gasket eventually became loose and flew off down the highway. Options available to use metal locks w/ key, instead of the plastic locks.
Easy to fit into the feet that are sold separately. No clue why the rubber strip just can't come already attached but it only takes a minute or two to put them on. Make sure before tightening the feet, the bars are even.
Just insralled the racks and J-Bars. Easy install, worked exactly as wanted. To out on freeway witth racks only, just some wind noise at 70. This is my second order thru etrailer. Both orders were great referrals, worked good, delivered witnin a few days. Thank you etrailer.
Great rack design. Fit my truck like a glove and holds two kayaks with no issues. I’m planning on installing a fish rod holder in between both kayaks.
The product quality seems great, and fit my Jeep Wrangler without having to do any drilling, or semi-permanent mounting of overly obtrusive cage type rack system. Tried mounting my Kayak on top and it seems like it's going to work for what I wanted it for. I especially like the fact that I can easily take the whole system off with ease as I would typically leave it on only in the summer.
Great product that compliments the look of my vehicle while serving a function. Initially, the product arrived missing some key parts, but the staff responded immediately to my email and took great care of me to ensure that my experience was completely satisfactory. Carol and Kelsey are truly attentive to the customer’s needs. Great job everyone!
Excellent crossbars for my 2020 JLU with sky top. Quality construction and I really like the swivel end caps to allow quick access to get things channel mounted quickly.

Of course nothing is ever going to be perfectly quiet, but at the same time these shouldnt be unbearable. Are all the gaps in the channel where the rubber strips go closed up with rubber? That is one of the top causes for loud whistling is gaps in the channel.
